For Israeli intelligence, the attack in Syria by the United States, France and Great Britain, it doesn't have achieved its goals. “If President Trump ordered it strike only to demonstrate that the US responded to Assad's use of chemical weapons, then this objective has been achieved”. a senior Israeli intelligence official said to Ynetnews. “But if there were other objectives, such as crippling the ability to launch chemical weapons or dissuading Assad from using them again, At that time it is very doubtful that any of these objectives have been achieved“.
Words not too different from those uttered by another Tel Aviv intelligence official. “The statement of 'mission accomplished' and that Assad's ability to use chemical weapons has been fatally affected, they have no basis". And if these statements of the Mossad they have weight, then it is possible that Israel's pressure on the West will once again be very incisive.
The Israeli media has long supported that the attack in Syria by Western forces turned out to be a clear victory for Bashar al Assad. The bombing was very limited and had absolutely no impact. Furthermore, as highlighted by many, the fact that a large part of the cruise missiles launched by Western forces have been shot down, shows a problem with the effectiveness of the attack. Furthermore, according to Israeli officials interviewed, the fact that the raid was announced and that no toxic gases were released from the affected buildings, it would demonstrate that the chemical weapons and components were no longer present in those depots. Basically, the idea is that chemical weapons are elsewhere, not that there never have been.
What does this mean? It means for the Israeli government and its armed forces, the problem of Syria remains exactly the same as before. For Tel Aviv there has been no change in the Syrian military reality. And those raids only helped the Syrian government without doing anything to help the Israeli cause against Damascus and the Iranian presence.
Reading between the lines of these statements by Israel's intelligence officials, the message is therefore much clearer than it seems. If Israel believes that Bashar al Assad still has full control of his alleged chemical arsenal, then Israel will feel entitled to strike again in Syrian territory. Or, since its objective remains the presence of Iran on its borders, will push for the West to make further efforts against the Syrian government.
The scenario, so, it becomes more and more dangerous. Israel does not seem happy with what happened in Syria. It had no show of force as desired after the alleged chemical attack in Douma. And it has received no assurances on the issue of Iranian presence not too far from its borders. And the fact that confirmed that he was the perpetrator of the attack on the T-4 base near Palmyra, shows that Israel has no interest in withdrawing from the great Syrian game.
A game that is becoming increasingly disturbing. Iran has vowed revenge after the death of its military advisors and after a raid that destroyed much of Iran's drone arsenal in Syrian territory. On the other side, the raid also certified in some ways Israel's isolation from the West's strategy (who attacked little and badly) and Russia, which can now be retaliated against precisely against those who did everything to hinder his campaign in Syria: that is, Israel itself.
